The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 1586 The Robbers' Paradise

Tribulation cultivator?

Lin Chen suddenly realized: "So, in other words, there are a lot of bandits in the Vast Wilderness now, and it's easy to get robbed if you pass through this area, right?"

"Yes."

Liu Yuqi explained, "The vast wilderness has a unique terrain, and many areas are suitable for escaping and hiding. Many cultivators have settled in this area, and over time, this area has become too turbulent."

Lin Chen asked curiously, "Won't people take a detour?"

Fan Cuihong continued, "To the east of the Vast Wilderness lies the Gale Sea, with its raging winds and turbulent currents, teeming with ferocious beasts. The sky is filled with endless turbulent currents, making it difficult for merchant ships to pass. To the west lies the Ancient Wilderness Forest, filled with extremely ferocious beasts, making passage extremely dangerous."

"The Vast Wilderness is located between the Gale Sea and the Ancient Forest. It is a vast area with few powerful monsters, making it the safest region. Those thieves don't have the ability to rob everything, and most of them only take valuable goods and don't kill people. So, after weighing the options, many merchant ships still choose to pass through the Vast Wilderness."

Lin Chen immediately understood: "Completely bypassing the Vast Wilderness would be a very long detour?"

"Correct."

Liu Yuqi replied, "If we cross the vast wilderness, it might take four or five days, but if we take a detour, the journey will be much longer, at least a month or more, which will waste a lot of time."

"The merchant ships of large trading companies are often guarded by powerful figures, so they are not necessarily afraid of those who rob cultivators. However, small trading companies or private individuals who are not strong enough are better off not encountering them. If they do, they are likely to be in trouble."

Fan Cuihong added, "If you're lucky, you might lose your money but save your life; if you're unlucky, you might lose both."

Lin Chen nodded: "What is the approximate strength of these Tribulation Cultivators?"

Fan Cuihong replied, "Most of them are below the level of immortals, but there are also human immortals, earth immortals, and even true immortals who have undergone tribulation. I've heard of some who have reached the level of golden immortals, but they are very rare. After all, golden immortals are so powerful that they can establish their own sects and might not be interested in robbing things."

Liu Yuqi explained, "Most Tribulation Cultivators operate in groups, with an immortal in charge and a bunch of henchmen. There are also powerful lone Tribulation Cultivators who are alone, coming and going like the wind, leaving no trace..."

This is the chaotic Central Divine Continent of the Wilderness.

He himself had been a robber with the King Kong gang for quite some time.

Recalling these past events, Lin Chen couldn't help but smile, a faint smile appearing on his face.

"The three of us should be fine traversing the vast wilderness, right?"

Liu Yuqi replied, "We are just passing through, we don't have a merchant ship, so the probability of being targeted is not high. Besides, even if we are targeted, we are not necessarily afraid. If we can't win, we can just run away. It's not like a Golden Immortal would come to rob us."

Lin Chen nodded: "Then let's go through the Vast Wilderness, I'm too lazy to go around in circles." Lin Chen made the decision, and the three of them headed towards the Vast Wilderness Plain.

Every morning and evening, Liu Yuqi would take the initiative to cook, fulfilling her duties as a maid. Lin Chen only needed to wait, and he would be served delicious food, just like a rich young master taking his maid on an outing.

Several days later, the three of them passed through the mountains and entered the vast plains.

A thick white fog shrouded the vast plain, obscuring the mountains and rivers below.

The Golden-Winged Roc moved with incredible speed, sweeping across mountains and rivers; the feeling was slightly different from sitting on a flying boat.

"Are there villages below, and people living there?"

Liu Yuqi replied, "The Vast Sea Plain is free from the invasion of demonic beasts and has fertile land, so ordinary people live here, forming villages of all sizes, but they are quite scattered and have not formed large cities."

“These people are all ordinary people, and they are all poor. After all, rich people choose to live in big cities rather than in the wilderness. Even the lowest-level cultivators would not covet their meager wealth. So it is dangerous for merchant ships to travel here, but these ordinary people are not in much danger.”

Lin Chen recalled the map of the Divine Fire Continent and laughed, "There are quite a few areas where demonic beasts are entrenched on the Divine Fire Continent. Most of the demonic beasts on the Cloud Sky Continent have been cleared out and driven back to the deep mountains and forests."

Liu Yuqi smiled and said, "The situation is different on each continent. For example, on the Heavenly Demon Continent, the demon race is the main race, and the human race has become a vassal of the demon race."

As everyone was discussing, a merchant ship suddenly appeared ahead, surrounded by a barrier. It was enormous and was moving forward rapidly and steadily.

Although Xiao Jin's wingspan was already a hundred meters, compared to this merchant ship, it looked like a seagull flying past a cruise ship.

Liu Yuqi exclaimed in a low voice, "What a huge ship!"

Fan Cuihong also whispered, "How much cargo do they have to load? Aren't they afraid of being robbed?"

Lin Chen looked at the enormous merchant ship that resembled an aerial fortress and was equally amazed, for he had never seen such a massive merchant ship before!
Are all merchant ships on the Divine Fire Continent this large?

Liu Yuqi shook her head: "No way, such a large ship is very rare. I wonder which force owns it..."

Lin Chen raised an eyebrow: "There are many paths to take, we'll each go our own way, let's go ours!"

Just as the Golden-Winged Roc was about to overtake the giant ship, a beam of golden light suddenly shot out from the ship, and at the same time someone laughed and said, "Fellow Daoist, please wait!"
